Energy sector consultancy Cornwall Insight has predicted that the October price cap level will rise for a ‘typical’ household, ahead of winter when energy use is higher.

National Energy Action’s Impact Report 2023-24 highlights the work we’ve done and the challenges we’ve faced over the last year as the national fuel poverty and energy efficiency charity.

In response to today’s Budget, Chief Executive of National Energy Action (NEA), Adam Scorer, says fuel poor households have been forgotten.

Today, the chief executive of fuel poverty charity National Energy Action (NEA) told MPs that over a million vulnerable households missed out on vital energy crisis support last winter.
